La Mentira

The song "La Mentira" performed by Luis Miguel is in the key of D minor. It is a classic bolero originally composed by Álvaro Carrillo, a Mexican songwriter, in the mid-20th century. Luis Miguel included his version on the album "Romances," released in 1997, which features reinterpretations of traditional Latin American boleros. The song is also known by its alternate title "Se Te Olvida." A trivia point is that this album continued Luis Miguel’s successful series of bolero albums, helping revive interest in the genre. The melody is expressive, with a slow tempo, romantic phrasing, and orchestral accompaniment emphasizing strings and soft rhythm sections.
